Experience Culture

Populating this rich landscape is a wide variety of African tribes, the Afar, the Mursi, the Karo, the Hamer, and more, whose ritual customs and traditions have remained almost entirely intact. Experiencing these people and their way of life is a great introduction to learn about a way of life once practiced by all of humankind.
View one of the many ceremonies and festivals that are an integral part of traditional Ethiopian culture and take home an experience that will redefine your life.

Experience Nature

Ethiopia travel can cover a wide variety of terrain from a high plateau the Simien mountain range all divided by the Great Rift Valley. There are arid low lands in the east and lush riverine lowlands in the westernmost parts with gushing waterfalls. The Blue Nile, the chief headstream of the Nile, starts from T’ana Hayk in northwest Ethiopia. The Danakil Depression a true wonder, is one of the lowest and hottest points in earth and is below sea level with the highest point in Ethiopia being Ras Dejen.

Experience Wildlife

Ethiopia has a large variety of indigenous plant and animal species. Travelling to Ethiopia for wildlife is incredibly rewarding. Its unusual geography, particularly the more isolated regions such as those within the Bale Mountains National Park, means there is a high number of endemic species and the very real possibility of glimpsing species that only a handful of people have ever seen. Experience Gelada monkeys, more than 835 bird species, Hyenas, Ethiopian wolves and more.
